Colorless mobile liquid.
Miscible with water, ethyl alcohol, ether and most essential oils and perfume chemicals.
Light ethereal-nauseating and powerful odor of very poor tenacity. Irritant at high concentration, rather pleasant in dilution.
Sweet and slightly burning taste.
Occasionally used as a diffusive top note in perfumes, or as an additive to colognes or other perfume solutions in order to make them smell more “ethereal”- aged, mellow.
It forms an interesting part of the volatile portion of Coffee flavor and other food flavors.
Produced synthetically from butanol, or from iso-propanol, or by biochemical synthesis from sugars or starches (fermentation process).
